'I married you, not her': Woman Gets Chastised by Husband After She Refused to Take His Ex Wife on Vacation With Them

Third-wheeling is awkward, but it's especially awkward if you feel like a third wheel with your husband and his ex-wife.

Every year, a woman we'll call OP and her husband would travel. This year, OP was thrilled that her husband's son wanted to join them. She had been a steady presence in the kid's life for years, but his mom, her husband's ex, liked to one-up her. This ex told OP that she needed to join them on their travels as well, as there was no way that the kid was going to be allowed to travel with them alone.

OP was aghast and thought her presence would feel more like a punishment than anything else. She told her husband she didn't want to take his ex-wife on vacation with them, and he, in turn, called her childish.
